and veined. Stipules oblong, marescent: stipels linear, acute. 
Peduncles axillary, 2-6 flowered, flowers shortly pedicelled. 
Bracteoles longer than and concealing the calyx, ovali-subro- 
tund, concave, longitudinally striatulated, submembranaceous. 
Calyx with the upper lip obscurely bifid as if emarginate ; the 
lower 3-fid with the middle lobe produced. Standard large, 
subrotund, emarginate, white stained with deep bright purple

wings stained with purple towards the apex. Ovary linear,

They are commonly called the fee-fee, from the noise made by 
the negro children in blowing through the flower.
